The Guinness world record for the longest ice cream dessert was set by a sundae measuring 46.99 m (154 ft 2 in) which was prepared by Turner Community Library and Turner Recreation Commission (both USA), at Turner Community Library, in Wyandotte, Kansas, USA.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest cup of ice cream; it weighed 8,865 lb (4,021 kg) and was made by Baskin-Robbins at their headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts, USA.
A 154-foot, 2-inch sundae created by the Turner Community Library and Turner Recreation Commission in Wyandotte, Kan. has the current Guinness world record.
Kelley also assembled 160 feet of eaves trough and propped it up on desks behind the school.

The trough was lined with aluminum foil and then students filled it end-to-end with scoops from 22 gallons of ice cream donated by Napoleon's Borchardt Brothers Market.
Topped with chocolate and strawberry syrup and whipped cream, the giant sundae was ready for devouring – which is another Guinness World Records requirement.
"You have to eat it," Kelley said. "That prevents people from making fake stuff just to set a world record."
